I’m a former patient of his, and when I say he put me on meds, I mean A LOT. When I went to another few psychiatrists, they were shocked to know how many meds I was on. That’s my main concern. He also just drugged me without any good reason why. I was never able to share with him, and he never gave me opportunity to open up. Other than that, he’s good with crisis control, so I’ll give him that. I would not recommend.
Business response:
This review sounds nothing like me. It's as vague as can be, suggesting it is a fabrication. I provide psychotherapy to all my patients so how can I not listen and give patients full opportunity to discuss their issues as well as any medication concerns. When I initiate any medication, I review carefully with parent or patient what the goal of using it is. We then follow up with questionnaires regularly . Its unfair to say what other psychiatrists said as it depends how honestly he presents it.
He's very quick to respond and helps with not only medicine but good behavioral strategies. He will listen to parents input and integrates parents ideas/plans into treatment. Very concise in visits if needed and easy to talk with via teleconference.
Dr. Shain has been my children’s doctor for about 2 years. He’s provided excellent care. We need more doctors like him!
Dr. Shain helped my teen son with terrible anxiety issues. He was extremely receptive to what we needed for 1.5 years. It is a very tricky process when you are dealing with medication and he was able to help us. He is a blessing and we are much better off because of his knowledge and care. We are forever grateful.
Our family has been seeing dr. Shain for 22 years (twenty two). He is an extremely compassionate professional. Dr. Shain always takes the time to listen. Goes out of his way to accommodated our schedules. There where several times over the years when we had some urgent issues that required immediate attention and he made sure he would make the time to see us, even before crazy holiday schedules. Never had an issue and strongly recommend this highly professional specialist.
Dr. Shain overprescribed medication to our family member and caused addiction issues. Did not listen to side effects. Was very rude and disrespectful. *Please notice how all of his new raving reviews are days apart in 2019 when the bad ones were years apart. Strange that so many patients suddenly recommend him that were seeing him for years! As another poster said, run don’t walk.
Business response:
These are serious concerns but this doesn't sound like an actual patient experience. Because I don't even prescribe medications that cause addiction issues exactly because I don't want to risk causing addiction. I see predominantly children and adolescents. Of course I listen to side effects: If people are dissatisfied I wouldn't be satisfied. The recent reviews are because Optum insurance asked me to post a link to Healthgrades for current patients to use. They can write whatever they wish.
Dr Shain has helped our family tremendously! He diagnosed my sons with ADHD and is treating one with the help of medication and one without. My younger son has overcome most of his anxiety with the tools he gave him and us to use with him. Dr Shain Takes the time to listen. He is well educated, empathetic, and uses great analogies. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help with their children.
Our family was in crisis mode, with our teenage son being diagnosed with Bi-Polar Mania. He required consistent outpatient therapy and medication monitoring. Dr. Shaine was our families saving grace. Extremely professional, knowledgable and also flexible with appt scheduling. His expertise in providing ways for my son to cope with day-to-day issues has allowed my son to be more grounded, focused, thoughtful and responsible. Today, our son is thriving and in a better place mentally then where he was 2 yrs ago. I would highly ... read more
Dr. Shain took on my son’s case when NO ONE else would. He is very patient with me and helps me talk to my child instead of yelling. Please consider him to help..........
